WHEN DREAMS REMEMBER

Adopted in infancy, Hannah Glass’s childhood on Long Island was idyllic. Panic began taking hold of her when, at age 14, she witnessed on television the 9/11 terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. Later, as a young woman, she watched as her fiancé, David, was struck and killed by a bus on a Manhattan street. Only in the aftermath of her grief did Hannah begin to think about  her origins. Now an accomplished journalist, Hannah decides to investigate her past and learn about her birth mother.

Serendipitously, Hannah receives a plum assignment from a national magazine to interview trauma expert Dr. Jo Brightman. More than a celebrity profile, Hannah sees the gig as an opportunity to understand her lifelong struggles with terror. Could the emotional effects of ancestral, social, and cultural trauma be inherited?

But before she can complete the article, Hannah receives word from a long-lost relative in England, Zachary Levi, via his close associate, Mr. Graham Pauly, that she is Levi’s sole heir and beneficiary. More of the answers Hannah seeks lie in the contents of a mysterious vintage chest shipped by Levi to Hannah’s parents’ home. Still more is revealed when she travels to London to meet Zach and Graham, as the journey morphs from one of investigating the past to exploring love.
